SG 2 - James Harden (Houston Rockets)

The Houston Rockets are on a roll of late. With Chris Paul out with injury, everyone expected them to struggle a bit more and fall down further. But with Eric Gordon and Clint Capela stepping up in his place and James Harden playing some amazing basketball, the Rockets continue to rise.

They are currently 6th in the Western Conference, with a 19-15 record and have gone on a 3 game winning streak. They have won 8 of their last 10 games and that is mostly due to their star guard, James Harden.
